Some things are subjective, yet we pick particular options and have guidelines.

I think we should generally refrain ourselves from making code
non-obvious for others that are still learning Rust and its standard
library, unless there is an actual advantage writing the code a
particular way.

Over time, when more kernel developers are somewhat familiar with
Rust, then sure. This is also how other features in kernel C have been
introduced.

Cheers,
Miguel
